Sad to see the CT support in the forums is so paper thin that all would drop their tickets. Wherever they pick I'm not sure catering to the CT crowd will be their top priority with the population low and the support so easily wavered. I am a mass transit guy too and will be taking the train to the subway while at Yankee stadium. Sounds like CT people are only supporters if convenient for them.
I don't get paid by the club, I pay for season tickets and support them. I have a family which is first in my life so if they are not near mass transit that is convenient and I would have to spend hours stuck in traffic then that would be a pain in the ass for me and my family then no I will not be supporting them. You can feel and do whatever you like. If I wanted to support a club that was inconvenient for me then I would support the Cosmos or Red Bulls.
You can and should support whoever you like. I was merely trying to say that just because a location is not convenient for you mr vin does not make it inconvenient for the rest of the world. I just think a subway line that touches a lot of queens, Brooklyn, and manhattan. The 3 most populated Burroughs, is decently accessible. And the fact it doesn't have a direct line to your house in CT might not be the biggest concern.
Dude, I wasn't asking for a direct line to my house and I certainly don't think anyone at NYCFC is going to alter their stadium plans based on what works for me. I was merely stating what worked for me and what didn't which is one of the things people do on forums. People support teams all over the world based on it being near where they are located and that it is easy for them to go and watch and support the team. It's cool if it works for you in Queens, but I highly doubt that is where they will end up anyway.
And in the same fashion I was merely stating my opinion (as is done on forums) that to see we would
A Train goes straight there, and is fairly reliable, the A is a mjor line and connects at some point with a large majority of other trains.
Just for laughs I googled around and found this. The Yankee Stadium site would be ideal. Aqueduct? No so much. As you can see the A train has a stop there and it's right off the Belt Parkway, but in all honesty I'm not sure if either is equipped to handle the load of a 20K+ crowd. Perhaps someone more familiar with the area can chime in.
From a strictly personal point of view, this site wouldn't be a deal breaker for me at all. I did a quick search on the MTA web page and it would be about 4 stops more for me on the subway to get there as compared to Yankee Stadium. A bit further than the Bronx, but actually a lost closer than Flushing Meadows Park.
Honestly, I still think we end up in the Bronx. Look how things have progressed. All of a sudden the Mayor seems on board for the Bronx location and the factory is balking when for the longest time it seemed to be the opposite. I'm getting the feeling once the checkbok opens up a little more for the factory people we'll have a done deal.
Path to Penn. Transfer to A train.
You Are Welcome
